river in a skiff with a bloodhound on

that reminds me that the fishing expedi-

failure. No bites but those furnished by
the savage mosquito; no fish, not even
dog-fish; no squirrels; no trout londs,
no nothing but poor river water diluted
with beer They will henceforth remain
strictly at home and catch suckers and
entertain more lucky fishermen from
the Hub and other localities.

OF Toronto, moved that the house take
II recess in order to give the members
an opportunity to take part in q recer-
ton to the governor general. Mr..
Blake, leader OF the opposition, took
objection. The ministerialists received
this with ieers, but it was sufficient to

The Opera House Fire

PARIS, May 26.-Among the audi
.ence at the Opera Comique last night
were Gen. Boulanger, Gen. Saussier,
Gen. Thibauldin, M. Goblet and NJ.
Bertholatat, all of whom escaped un-
hurt. An artist named Philippe per-
formed prodigies of valor saving life.
He mounted ladder three times and
saved three danseuses after they had
been abandoned by the tiremen. In
the Rue Farort Il sudden gust of wind
cleared away the dense smoke, when a
woman and two men were seen stand
ing in an angle of the uppermost cor
nice. The woman tried to jump, but
the men prevented her. When all
were finally rescued the woman was a
raving maniac. A singer had a mirac-
ulous escape from dressing room in
the angle at the top of the bnilding.
He says the wind kept the flames of
that part of the building but river of
molten lead poured from the roof, the
course of which he diverted with a
board to prevent the weight from car
rying down the shaky floor. Officials
are endeavoring to underrate the loss
of life. The large number of bodies
found has alarmed the public. The
Theatre Chateau announces Il per-
formance for the benefit Of the
sufferers on Monday.

Cave at Mullan Tunnel.

ELLIsTok, Montana, May 28.-Yes-
terday afternoon about 3 o'clock a
large cave occurred in Mullan t,,n-
mel near the west portal. 1t was at n
place where the builders of the tunnel
found it necessary to timber on ac-
count of the soft and caying character
of the rock. The strain of the roof
upon the wooden supports finally
became too great for their strength
and::yesterday the timbers gave way let
ting an enormous amount of rock and
earth fall through covering the track
and completely blockading the tun-
mel so no trains can pass. The Butte
train that left Helena yesterday after
noon went as far as Butler, and there
learning or the accident came back to
Helena. No. west bound was delayed
at Helena last night and turned back
to-day. The west bound passenger
and mail will lay over at Helena until
tomorrow when arrangements will
be complete for transfer by teams. A
large force of men are at work, but
owing to the soft character of the rock
fresh cayes occur as fast as that al
ready is removed. Trains may be un-
able to pass for several days.

Sudden Death.

Yesterday Mrs. w. T.. Edwards, of
this city, received the startling and
painful news of the sudden death of
her father, Judge Keiser, at Truckee,
Cal, one of the oldest residents of
that place and pioneer settler of
California. He was in his usual
good health UP to the time of his
death, and WAS to have filled the
Office of grand marshal at the decor
ative ceremonies at Truckee on Mon
dey. Judge Keiser had many
friends and acquaintances in this
city, who will regret exceedingly
to hear of his death, while the SYM
pathy of her friends will be extended
to Mrs. Edwards in this her sad affli ic-
tion. The Spokane News, speaking
of the sad event, says: "Judge
Keiser was an old California pioneer.

a BRILLIANT SUCCESS.
The Lincoln Literary society Entertain
ment Last Evening.

Every member OF the LincTn Lit
erary Society has good reason to feel
proud over the unqualified success
that attended the first public enter
tainment given 10y that organization,
last evening. Concordia Hall was
crowded with an intelligent and APP
precative audience, and the apparatus
fund for the public school must have
been considerably augmented thereby.
The program has already been pub
lshed in this paper, and consequently
will not demand notice in detail,
although every portion would warrant
it. The recitations by Misses Aber-
nethy and Master Webster were rem
dered with excellent elocutionary
eject, and showed natural aptitude as
veil as careful training. The Social
Journal" well read by its editor, Sid
ney Rosenhaupt, was fairly alive with
good articles OF fact, fancy and fun, all
contributed 10y the members. The
two little Graham brothers, in their
cornet duet, received an enthusiastic
recall. The vocal trio by Misses
Long, Cooke and Reichenbach was
also u gem, The great feature of the
first part OF the program, however,
was the drill of the broom brigade--a
bevy of twelve young ladies handsome
ly uniformed and commanded most
efficiently by IL thirteenth, Miss Nellie
Cooke. Their maNhings, evolutions
and manual of arms were perfect.
Among the most attractive figures
were the cross in circle and the
wheeling triangle All the movements
were in perfect time 70 the accom-
paniment Of the piano, played by Miss
Annie Gilbert. They created so much
enthusiasm that nothtag less than an
entire repetition would satisfy the audi.
ence. In this connection, Prof. Tur.
ner desires us to say that he is greatly
indebted to Lieutenant G. M. Stone, Of
our local military company, for valrl.
able assistance in training this brigade
The farce, paddle Yosr Own
Canoe" which constituted tie second
| part OF the program, was most
| luughable ard well acted affair. The
stage setting and equipments were
| also much more complete than could
reasonably be expected in this theater
less city. The scene was dentist.
melange OF sentiment, fun and laugh
I ing gas. Messrs. Howard, Hotchkiss
| Spencer and Hix in the principal NAL,
characters, all seemed at home. Th,
latter, especially. as "Bob Ridley" tn,
colored boy, was immense. The ladies
characters, sustained by Misses Viii
son, Nelson and Clark, were also excel
lent. The lattcr's Chinese make-uI
was especially good. The Lincolr
Literary Society can always rely upor
drawing big house whenever it see
fit to announce another entertainment
Although the preparation has doubt
less caused much labor to the mem
bers and their instructor, Prof. Turner
yet they should feel amply repaid.

Unintontionai On issions.

In our report OF the entertainment
given last Friday evening at Concor-
dia hall, by the Lincoln Literary
society, tor the public school benefit,
the names of several participants
in the programme were omitted by
printer's error. The recitation,
"Schoel Masters Guests" by Miss
Kittie Crapper, should have received
special mention as being one of The
most merit0rious numbers on The
programme. The three bits of
character acting in the farce, por-
traying the amateur tragedian, the
Irish porter and the Chinese laun-
dryman, by Messrs. Dunning, Ide
ana Bump, respectively, We're also
praiseworthy. The Chinese make
up of the latter was excellent.
